"Amid concerns about gender inequity in advancement in medicine, it is especially important to identify innovative and visible actions that target the mechanisms fueling inequity," says study author Reshma Jagsi, M.D., D.Phil., the Newman Family Professor of Radiation Oncology and deputy chair of radiation oncology at Michigan Medicine, and director of the Center for Bioethics and Social Sciences in Medicine at U-M.
